President Donald Trump set social media buzzing on Monday after he shared an artificial intelligence video that shows him fighting a Canadian hockey player and scoring the winning goal for Team USA. The clip came just after the United States defeated Canada in the gold medal game at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Fans were already celebrating goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who played a key role in the win. But in this AI-made video, President Donald Trump casts himself as the star of the night.
The short video was created using Grok, an AI tool linked to X. In the clip, President Donald Trump appears in a blue suit and red tie, skating across the ice.
He checks Canadian players into the boards, drops his gloves, and throws punches during a fight. Near the end, the video shows him scoring a dramatic goal against Canada and then getting swarmed by Team USA players in celebration.
The post quickly gained attention because of the timing. The United States had just pulled off a major win over Canada in men’s hockey, one of the most talked-about matchups of the Winter Olympics.
Many fans were praising Connor Hellebuyck for his saves in the final. However, President Donald Trump’s AI video shifted the spotlight for a moment, adding humor and political flavor to the sports celebration.
President Donald Trump responds after Team USA hockey victory over Canada and Justin Trudeau comment
The video also appeared to reference past comments from former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. After a previous international hockey event, Justin Trudeau had said, “You can’t take our country, and you can’t take our game.”
President Donald Trump’s post seemed like a playful answer to that remark.
Along with the AI video, President Donald Trump shared a written message congratulating the team. He posted, “Congratulations to our great U.S.A. Ice Hockey team. THEY WON THE GOLD. WOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” The message was shared on his social media platform and quickly spread across other networks.
Meanwhile, the real Team USA players were celebrating their gold medal win on the ice.
Videos from the arena showed players cheering, hugging, and posing with the American flag after the final whistle. Reports also said FBI Director Kash Patel joined the team during the celebration.
While the AI clip was clearly meant as a joke, it added another layer to an already emotional night for American hockey fans. The gold medal win over Canada is one that supporters will remember for years, and President Donald Trump’s video made sure his name became part of that online conversation.
